New tea towel just arrived...

This took me fucking ages

Trying to keep positive after the tree surgeons obliterated most of the garden (not their fault, it was a huuuggge tree). But there are little glimmers which are giving me joy...

We used to sell loads of jigsaw puzzles, but now hardly any, which is odd because they’re lovely things and make brilliant gifts 🧩✨ ➡️ foxlanebooks.co.uk/jigsaws

There's water dripping from the loft hatch ... that's got to be fine, right? 🤔

Breakfast...

Forgive me for reposting this, but today my lovely Dad would have been 100. I'm celebrating on his behalf 🍷 Happy birthday Dad ...

I've worked out what makes coming into the office more bearable......

Wait, what??

Office day ... and there is blue sky! It feels like we've had grey skies forever.

The moon STILL hasn't arrived (Did you use Evri? ... I bet you used Evri 🙄) ... but even so, I want to wish you the best birthday ever .... Happy Birthday @crunchyfrog.bsky.social 🥳🎂🫶🏻

19,934 steps today ... and alot of puffing uphill. Now pouring a big glass of wine..

Rainy morning walk ... I'm constantly amazed how muddy I can get 🙄

It's all happening in my back garden today ... three very healthy, floofy foxes and one miserable, hungry looking grey heron.

Who's up for coming over and helping me with this ...

Just in case you need some ideas for new year's resolutions. (Thanks to Richard Scarry)

London types. Going to the Apollo Friday night for Inside No9. What's a half decent/reasonably priced place for food within easy walking distance of it?

You can't make it up 😂

I don't think some people here realise how much they mean to me. You've lifted me up when I've struggled, made me laugh, and kept me sane. Thank you for your company this year. I wish you all manner of good things for 2026 💕

@pierscooper.bsky.social Don't forget to sort out your clothes cupboard 😘

There will always be people who shit all over your dreams. Do it anyway.

OK .. let's do it 👊🏻 (too early for a vermouth?)

It's ok ....

Managed to spend a little time at the Betty Parsons exhibition at the De La Warr today ... it was perfect when the sun came out briefly.

Anyone of you lovely folks into model making (of authentic wartime military kits/diorama stuff) and can recommend any handy tools or accessories for building, painting, customising and so on? For someone who researches *everything* so needs to be something properly useful and possibly unusual … TIA

These carpenter's pencils are possibly the best present I've bought this year 😁

UK based people 👋. My teen wants to dye her hair for the first time, but it needs to be temporary as not allowed at school. I’ve looked but they don’t seem to do those ‘wash in / wash out’ types of dye they had when I was young. Anyone know of a brand of temporary dye I can search for please? Ta.

When you've washed your hair and you can't do a thing with it ..

Safe journey home @joggerplodder.bsky.social I'll try and get some sunshine in for your return 😘

Hardly a soul around ... and just a woodpecker and a couple of stone chats for company.

Don't like blood tests (needles 😬) ... so this is my reward for being a brave bunny 😉

Another grey day. There's a nearby nature reserve that used to be a golf course ... seems like this heron prefers it now. (Best I could do with my phone 🙃)

Twinkly lights make even the greyest day bearable ✨️

No filters required today ☺️ #Thursley

Finished it!

🎶We're still sipping on our Palomas But the night is young, if I know you like I know you You know, the best part is the debrief on the hangover 🎶 @andrewblue23.bsky.social

Book nook coming along nicely 👌🏻

Currently making a gazillion tiny books for my book nook. Who's bloody great idea was this???

Aw reet! As it’s #LancashireDay I’m going to give away a Northern Sky A4 unframed print. Inspired by my hometown of Blackburn and Nick Drake. Repost and follow me to enter. I’ll pick a winner after 9pm (27 Nov) www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/product-page...

Guess what I made for tea tonight? (Good job I labelled it 🙄) #BurntOfferings
